Oxford gave up its 25-24 halftime lead, letting Rochester outscore the Wildcats 33-10 in the second half.

James Young of Rochester scored 31 points and had eight rebounds and four assits.

“I felt we played with great effort and energy in the first half,” Oxford coach Paul Marfia said. “Unfortunately, the game is 32 minutes long and not 16 minutes. Credit to Rochester. Not only did James Young play well, but I thought all of the other kids played well in their roles.”

Oxford’s Jacob Wysocki scored nine points and grabbed eight rebounds.

“I was proud of my kids with their attitude and effort,” Marfia added. “We just have to work on worrying only about the things we control, like our attitude and effort for an entire game.”
